Objective: To explore the relationship between occupational heat exposure, physiological heat strain indicators and adverse outcomes in pregnant women.
Design: Prospective cohort.
Setting: Workplaces in Tamil Nadu, India.
Article Synopsis
- High workplace temperatures are linked to adverse pregnancy outcomes (APO), impacting millions of women in developing countries as climate change raises these temperatures.
- A review of research revealed a strong connection between heat stress and various APOs, such as miscarriages, preterm birth, and low birth weight, highlighting a need for further investigation into underlying biological mechanisms and prevention strategies.
- The study emphasizes the urgency for larger research studies in tropical regions to support policy development aimed at protecting the health of pregnant women from heat-related risks.
Recent advancements in the field of nanotechnology have enabled targeted delivery of drug agents in vivo with minimal side effects. The use of nanoparticles for bio-imaging has revolutionized the field of nanomedicine by enabling non-invasive targeting and selective delivery of active drug moieties in vivo. Various inorganic nanomaterials like mesoporous silica nanoparticles, gold nanoparticles, magnetite nanoparticles graphene-based nanomaterials etc.

Gestational trophoblastic neoplasias (GTN) are notorious for their propensity to bleed torrentially and metastasis to vital organs. GTN is associated with an arterio-venous malformation (AVM) about 10-15% of the time, which can lead to bleeding after surgery or after complete remission.
